GCWR
25100
GVWR
10000
GVW
7392
TWR(trailer + 1000#)
14085
Hitch + Cargo
1250
Passengers
700
20% Pin Weight Factor
= 3290 which is > the trailer pin weight
I feel comfortable with this.

I have read this over and over again and can not for the life of me understand how you can feel comfortable with this.
You will be over your GVWR, Payload, Most likely rear axle and or rear tire load limits, in fact about the only number you didn't go over was the GCWR, if that is truly the right number. Sorry, but I feel you are being irresponsible.
